We spent a few days in wintry Alberta in November, where the weather was blizzarding and -27º Celsius (-17ºF). The day we drove south alongside the Rockies, though, was clear and bright… although still a tad chilly, especially compared to the last time we’d driven this stretch of road!

Valerie Comer is a USA Today bestselling author and a two-time Word Award winner who writes where food meets faith and fiction. She injects experience laced with humor into her green clean romances. Her life on a small farm in western Canada provides the seed for stories of contemporary inspirational romance. Like many of her characters, Valerie and her family grow much of their own food and are active in the local foods movement as well as their church. She only hopes her creations enjoy their happily-ever-afters as much as she does hers, shared with her husband, adult kids, and adorable granddaughters.
Oops! My apologies! I gave Valerie the wrong link for my sale on Not Until Now. You can find it for 99¢ (US & UK) here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XMPLNWK
I can’t imagine it being that cold! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Sorry about that! I should have checked the link. I corrected it :)
The wind kind of cuts through you at that temperature!
This native Floridian would find that extremely cold, though I am loving our temps of 30’s at night and 60’s during the day. Tomorrow we’ll be back in the 70’s during the day, and by Thursday we’ll be in the 80’s. I much prefer cooler weather, though I don’t think I’d like -17F. I don’t know, though, if there’s no humidity and no windchill, it might feel pretty good!!
Alberta is very dry, in general, but the cold is really, really cold with the wind!
Wow, it makes me very, very cold just looking at the photo! Have a great week.

Thank you!
